PMI - I'm liking your idea of strapping it to the frame... er, as long as it stays there!
I think I will pull the fuel line from the carb again and make sure it's not getting fuel there. Triple check it.
As for the electric pump - could I ground it to the frame? Any suggestions about the best way to run the battery cable to the back of the car? zip ties around stuff?
